Raritan Valley Community College’s Women's Basketball Team is off to the best start in recent history, with a 16-2 overall record. The Lady Lions are 4-1 in Region XIX play, which has them second in the standings.

Thanks to three RVCC players from Spain, the team has been receiving some terrific international assistance. Lucia Noin, a sophomore from Santander, Spain, leads the team in both points and rebounds with 21 and 9 respectively. Vega Gil, a freshman from Pamplona, Spain, is second on the team with 15 points per game, while Julia Fontanillo, a freshman from Valladolid, Spain, is third with 10 points per game. In week two of the season, the Lions achieved their first-ever national ranking, entering the NJCAA Division II poll at #18 after defeating #3 Harcum College the previous week.
